Damaged a battery. Is it safe to use it?

[v1ks_]

Hiya,

So... I accidentally dropped one of my HE4's when taking it out of charger. As you can see it the pictures, it's slightly bent now and the wrapping has been damaged as well. Do you recon it's still safe to use it, or should I just bin/recycle it?
Thanks!

Battery's are cheap, recycle it better safe than...

Highly recommend discarding that one.

Thanks for the input guys! Guess I'll take it to the shop I bought it at, perhaps they'll have some use for it.
Shame, it was almost brand new, most likely seen less than 10 charging cycles, heh. Then again, as you've pointed out, they aren't exactly expensive, so... better to be safe.
Cheers!

batteries are cheap, pain hurts, medical bills are expensive.
